Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Answer 1

y = - 8x - 4

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 8, then

y = - 8x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 1, 4 ) into the partial equation

4 = 8 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 8 = - 4

y = - 8x - 4 ← equation of line
